Welcome to Nailsea URC
Dear Friends
Dear Friends,
What do you do, and to whom do you turn when you are desperate? The Bible tells of a situation where a lady’s husband had died, leaving great debts. The person to whom she owed the debt planned to take her two sons as his slaves. You can read the story in 2 Kings 4 v 1-7. The lady turns to the prophet Elisha. Her husband had been part of his company of prophets, so she already knew him.
After she has explained her situation, he asks, “Tell me, what do you have in your house?” Her answer was, “Nothing except a little oil.” Elisha replies, “Go around and ask all your neighbours for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour the oil into all the jars….” She obeys his instructions and returns to ask what she is to do next. He tells her, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.” She knew where to go and saw God act and rescue her. You and I have a Heavenly Father to whom we can go. He has promised to be “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows.” (Psalm 68 v 5). He also tells you to, “Cast all your care upon Him, for he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5 v 7)

Becoming a Member of Nailsea URC
What's it all about?
Church Membership is the way in which Christians who have made their home in the local church are encouraged to express their commitment to that congregation of God’s people.
Who are they?
Well Church Members are not Super-Christians, just ordinary people who meet regularly to try and make sure that the continued life and witness of the church is in line with how God wants it to be. You can still be effective within the life of the church without being a member, but only members have a vote at Church Meeting, and are therefore the people who, as a body, make decisions.
